Listening to the R4 program now on the App. Shocking state of affairs. (Frightening to hear that holding officers were banned from talking to the MOD and had to do so incognito.)
From my experience, MFTS has taken an excellent helicopter training system and ruined it with holds of up to 2 YEARS leading to a front-line pipeline of 7.5 YEARS!
Someone at MOD should be lined up against a wall for this! You idiot senior officers who go through the public/private sector revolving door know who you are!!!!!
On a lighter note - the Sound of Silence comedy song by bored holding officers was good.
